If you still can't "hear" it, then I guess you'll just have to keep on listening!!!

Metallica sounds more thrashy because they're thrash/speed metal.
Iron Maiden is definitely heavy metal. Just remember that metal can have high pitched talented vocals. And also remember that Led Zeppelin was once considered heavy metal. Heavy music has many definitions.
I wouldn't say Metallica is definitely more influential. In terms of numbers of fans, yes. But Iron Maiden did more for metal than Metallica did. Maiden led NWOBHM and practically created power metal. Metallica really didn't do a huge amount for thrash.
And also, Nicko McBrain is ten times the drummer that Ulrich is
